Private, spacious and nestled into the foot of the Bungendore escarpment on Lake George is this Geoffrey Butterworth and Partners designed family home. The big wide landscape and expansive views have inspired a pavilion style double brick home that sits beautifully within the natural bush surroundings.
This is a home for those families who enjoy entertaining. The well fitted kitchen is positioned in the centre of the house and off this is a casual sitting and dining area to one side, formal dining and sitting to the other. The large formal living room has an ambient feel and is warmed by a Cheminees Philippe fireplace. All the rooms in this home have cedar framed picture windows framing up the beautiful ever changing light and colour shows across Lake George.
While practical infrastructure is well thought out – plenty of water storage, reverse cycle air conditioning, stainless steel kitchen appliances, loads of storage space, a big fitted laundry – style has had a part here too. The study is fitted with a custom built solid jarrah desktop and beech cupboards a very inviting room to harbour thoughts of working from home!
Pavilion style architecture offers spatial flexibility, here you can drive up to the front door for drop offs, into the double garage or right through and around in a full circle. The garage pavilion has been built to accommodate overflow guests or offer a teenagers retreat (there is some plumbing fitted so making this section self contained is quite possible) in the ample studio whilst still being under the same roof.
The gardens are low maintenance, planted with a variety of deciduous trees and shrubs, the design aim being to attract many native birds. There are enough lawn areas for play and entertaining but not too much to be a burden. Veggie beds are positioned to be well protected and are large enough for the family to be well supplied with fresh home grown produce. The chickens live well here too, enjoying the terraced views of the lake from their split level abode. A large colourbond shed provides plenty of extra storage plus room for the tinkers amongst us to have a place of their own.
Eagles, native parrots, wrens and beautiful finches have all made this their home. Here you can enjoy your own personal 63 acres of unspoilt nature walks. Observe the wallabies, echidnas and lizards or sit quietly taking in the phenomenal Lake George and listening to peace and quiet.
Commuting to the CBD is an easy 35 minute drive and for those out at JOC it is only 20 minutes. Your children will thrive here, they will grow up surrounded by nature with out being too far from town. Bungendore’s popular primary school, pool, tennis courts and cafes are only a short drive away. This is a great opportunity to acquire a well built, private and truly comfortable home. Inspections are highly recommended and private appointments can be arranged.
